title: The structure of the capsular antigen from Escherichia coli O8:K87:H19.
abstract: The structure of the capsular polysaccharide from Escherichia coli O8:K87:H19 was investigated by methylation analysis and by one- and two-dimensional 1H- and 13C-n.m.r. spectroscopy. The repeating unit was shown to be a branched pentasaccharide with the structure (formula; see text)
